500 meters off the ground, a couple of brave athletes, a twenty-some person crew, and ARRI equipment participated in the launch of this year’s Deutschlandjahr: a year-long nationwide festival celebrating Germany’s close friendship to the United States.

Netflix and ZDFneo are now airing the high-end crime series “Perfume.” This Constantin Film production was shot with equipment from ARRI Rental and co- and post-produced by ARRI Media. A look behind the scenes.

Berlin-based DP Winnie Heun chose ARRI lights, cameras, and lenses for a recent Knorr commercial and claimed he "had the right tools for the job."

When Director of Photography Žiga Zupančič was recruited to shoot a commercial for the New Zealand Defense Force, he relied on the versatility and aesthetics of the ALEXA Mini. 

For decades ARRI has fostered relationships with industry professionals from around the world. During the festival, ARRI also took the opportunity to talk with a number of filmmakers about their current projects.

The world’s top fashion design companies are demanding ever higher standards of coverage for their shows.  The French company PhotoCineRent has become one of the leading specialists in multi-camera shooting, using ARRI AMIRA and ALEXA Minis. Its founder and director, Albrecht Gerlach, talked to us about the complexities of coordinating as many as 18 cameras to bring seamless coverage to high fashion.

The first Australian television commercial captured with an ALEXA LF with new Signature Prime lenses has been shot in the rainforests of Byron Shire by popular DP Stefan Duscio and directed by Jessie Oldfield and Adam Murfet for Target Australia.
 

With the First Steps Awards, the German Film Academy honors outstanding films by students graduating from film schools in German-speaking territories. As a partner and co-organizer, ARRI congratulates all prize winners and nominees.

The ARRI AMIRA has a well-earned reputation as a tough and adaptable documentary camera, and as a tool for wildlife filmmakers. But it also has a role in features. DP Johann Perry has received critical acclaim for his work on the BBC film "Mother´s Day." He spoke to ARRI about the project and how the AMIRA helped him realize his artistic vision for it. 

ARRI's Camera Showreel Fall 2018 is out, packed with beautiful images captured with ALEXA 65s, ALEXA LFs, ALEXA Minis & AMIRAS. Including extracts from features, documentaries, commercials & art works, it’s ARRI’s tribute to the work of some of the industry’s finest practitioners.

The Venice Film Festival is not only the oldest but also one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world. As in years past, ARRI was present and on the island of Lido for the 75th Biennale Cinema as well as behind the scenes of most of the festival’s top prize-winning films. 

The AMIRA Multicam System brings the picture quality you’d expect from ARRI and embeds it into existing infrastructure. It’s part of a growing trend to raise production standards and bring a ‘cinematic look’ to TV shows. The makers of one popular German program made the change and have been delighted with the results.
